Best would be my Record pipe benders that my dad bought me when I started my apprenticeship. Still going strong.
Worst would be cheap hacksaw blades.

You can get 20 good pencils from Wilkinson for ÂŁ1They the black and yellow ones? Normally buy from supermarket
Worst tool: anything from hold on! AVOID
With the pencils, ikea do me cheap. (Free) just fill your pockets. Although the missus buys ÂŁ100 worth of tat every time I walk in there
Gotta disagree, I hate disagreeing with guys with trusted and pub member next to their name but I find olive cutters kick bum. I only use them on over tightened olives, a skilled hand and a set of grips can remove any olive but if it's strangled.... Out come the olive cutters and bang, off in seconds.
Yay!!
I always nick about 50 of those , great things they areScrewfix pencils!
What olive cutters do you have. The ones I have used in the past don't work on strangled olives which is why I dont have any.Gotta disagree, I hate disagreeing with guys with trusted and pub member next to their name but I find olive cutters kick bum.

I buy the staedlers from ebay as well and its a box of 150 (from a stationary company )and I still end up loosing them all,i buy staedler hb pencils in boxes of 50 from ebay about 12 quid leads dont fall out
I've got the guillotine type cutters, not the 1 size fits all screw type, you need 1 for each size of pipe, I have 1 for 15mm and 1 for 22mm, only really ever use the 15 to be fair, and it's usually on rad valves. Your right though if the pipes too distorted I just cut it back but if it's only a little indent a fresh olive usually seals up fine. They look like my old monument cutters but I think they're Nerrad? If your thinking of giving me a try Kay-jay start with the 15mm, you'd get a lot more use out of it.
And plumbstar Tom your right, I had a few drinks last night that are still disagreeing with me now!
Badboy, are they the red handled ones ?
